Soccer fans are not happy after Katy Perry was announced as the headliner for the 2026 FIFA World Cup Opening Ceremony.
The 41-year-old singer was announced as the headliner on Friday, May 8, and many in the soccer community had strong opinions on the choice. Pop Crave shared the announcement on their X account and the comments section featured a mixed bag of reactions.
Many were against the organization's decision to sign her as the headliner, with one commenter writing, "I honestly think they could've picked someone better."
"On behalf of the football community we don’t know Katy Perry," another added. A third wrote, "What songs will she be performing, this World Cup is proving to be a disaster!"

FBHO.
He was in Canada this week for talks with PM Carney. He thinks he's still president.
At least she's better looking than Katy Perry.
Call it ‘BarryBall’...
“Hey, let’s get a dude to sing in Spanish for the Superbowl and find a white chica to sing in English for the World Cup!”
If you can’t gamble on it we’ll have nothing to do with it.
Over/under on final score is 1? Pffffft
At least I can't understand his potty mouth, so also agree.
Bad Bunny, who would have fit better than Katy Perry in the World Cup, performed in the Super Bowl. Katy Perry, who would have fit better than Bad Bunny in the Super Bowl, is performing in the World Cup.
Mark Anthony would have been a much better choice for either event.
Since I wasn’t going to watch either one anyway, I would much prefer to have perform Lemon Squeezy, the current Barbershop Harmony Society quartet champions.
Really tick people off, I say.
“The 41-year-old singer was announced as the headliner on Friday, May 8, and many in the soccer community had strong opinions on the choice.” Although highly unlikely that someone would actually make a goal, does Katy get to yell ‘goooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaal’ if they did?
Is this enthrallment with soccer in America something new or has it been around forever? This year is the first time I recall all the hoopla about World Cup and FIFA (or whatever it’s called).
Where’s Robert Goulet when you need a Robert Goulet...
Expat SE Asia... pops brought us back to the states my sophomore year in HS. Never saw Anerican football until ‘71... soccer is cool, but Rugby is better.
While I’m no fan of the pick - what they’re saying is she’s a has-been and too old. I see. So the alternative is another “Bad Bunny”....so tiring.
These audiences are paying 1000’s per ticket....and they’re not all 20-somethings.
It’s funny - some of these artists have been in the industry for decades now. Like Eminem, his “Without Me” track made fun of Moby, being 36 and too old....while himself now being 53 and trying to still be relevant. All while the rest of us grew up.
why is the no talent devil worshiping
thing still around.
She bought a nunnery to practice devil worship there .
great pick.
If you pick Carrie Underwood, you have to take Carrie Underwood’s clown lips. I think they need their own separate limo.
Why do women (and fake women) feel the need to inflate their lips to disproportional shapes? It’s not attractive, in the least, in fact, it looks downright silly.
Seems to be very popular, at the moment.
I was just trying to think of someone American who might represent better than Perry. Underwood really messed herself up with her plastic surgery. They say she had a fall and disfigured her face, but I’m not sure about that.. I think it’s an excuse.
Don’t ask me why women do these things to their faces. It’s so stupid.

She’s the perfect representative of modern American culture. Trash!
I agree about the trash comment.
Maybe they could hire Up With People. Are they still around?
Most of these Pop Tarts are completely interchangeable, just like their songs. Who was it who said that contemporary pop consists of nothing more than a hook, a beat, and a loop?
It may as well be all AI-generated, including the image/voice of the "artists".
